[Felis]

Hi,

yesterday, I was able to get a hold of six 5 months old Pipa parva They´re pretty active, always looking for food.



So cute

After a few hours, one toad tried to amplex another- hopefully some of them turn out to be females...

Congrats; those are very nice. Like how the front digits end in little star shaped pads .

Yes; in German, they are also called "Sternfingerkröte"

For those who haven´t read information about the genus Pipa yet: the fingertips are highly sensitive organs of touch that help Pipa species to find food in the often muddy water bodies they originate from. It´s very interesting to watch them exploring the sand.

Hi,

the Pipas are doing great. Unfortunately, there is only one female, but they already spawned. They are living in a 30 gal tank with a few neon tetras, six Otocinclus and five Corydoras habrosus. Unlike ADFs, those little guys don´t feel uneasy if fish are present


The tank


"Pregnant" female

Wow, never seen this species before. Cool toads. Is the last photo a female with eggs on her back?
